We’ve all got that one friend who can’t get enough of home design. Whether it’s their quirky artwork, gorgeous glassware, or wallpaper that is impossible to find anywhere else, you’re always a bit envious of some oddity that you spot about their house. If you’re looking for something unique for a loved one or something to style your own house, I’ll do my best to steer you in the right direction with my suggestions below. There’s a mix of stuff from here, there and everywhere that’ll (hopefully) impress any homeware lover.
